Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic compounds, particularly in the development of specialty fluorinated chemicals. Its unique structure with chlorine and fluorine substituents makes it valuable in creating high-performance materials such as heat-resistant polymers and specialty coatings. It is also employed in research settings for designing compounds with enhanced stability and reactivity profiles, including potential applications in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals where fluorinated moieties improve bioavailability and metabolic resistance.
